Chrysanthemum plant named ‘CIFZ0105’

ABSTRACT

A new garden type Chrysanthemum plant named ‘CIFZ0105’ particularly distinguished by its medium to large size plant with round plant habit, a large size quilled decorative with bronze-yellow bicolor flower color, and a natural season response in mid to late September.

Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: Chrysanthemumx morifolium.

Varietal denomination: ‘CIFZ0105’.

BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT

The present invention comprises a new Chrysanthemum, botanically knownas Chrysanthemum x morifolium, and hereinafter referred to by thevariety name ‘CIFZ0105’.

‘CIFZ0105’ is a product of a planned breeding program. The new cultivarhas a medium to large size plant with round plant habit, a large sizequilled decorative flower with bronze-yellow bicolor flower color, and anatural season response in mid to late September

‘CIFZ0105’ originated from a cross made in November 2018 in Enkhuizen,The Netherlands. Seeds were sown in June 2019 in Gilroy, Calif. and‘CIFZ0105’ was selected from the resulting population on Nov. 4, 2019 inAlva, Fla.

The female parent was an unnamed proprietary seedling ‘FB0101’, notpatented.

The first act of asexual reproduction of ‘CIFZ0105’ was accomplishedwhen vegetative stem cuttings were propagated from the initial selectionin January 2020 in Alva, Fla.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION

Horticultural examination of plants grown from cuttings of the plantinitiated in January 2020 and continuing thereafter, has demonstratedthat the combination of characteristics as herein disclosed for‘CIFZ0105’ are firmly fixed and are retained through successivegenerations of asexual reproduction.

‘CIFZ0105’ has not been observed under all possible environmentalconditions. The phenotype may vary significantly with variations inenvironment such as temperature, light intensity and day length.

A Plant Breeder's Right for this cultivar has not yet been applied for.‘CIFZ0105’ has not been made publicly available prior to the effectivefiling date of this application, notwithstanding any disclosure that mayhave been made less than one year prior to the effective filing date ofthis application by the inventor or another who obtained ‘CIFZ0105’directly from the inventor.

The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined tobe basic characteristics of the new variety. The combination of thesecharacteristics distinguishes this Chrysanthemum as a new and distinctvariety.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS

The accompanying photographic drawings show typical flower and foliagecharacteristics of ‘CIFZ0105’ with colors being as true as possible withan illustration of this type.

The photographic drawings shows in FIG. 1 a close view of flower of thenew variety and in

FIG. 2 a flowering plant from an outdoor trial.

The aforementioned photographs: FIG. 1 , as well as FIG. 2 were taken onSep. 5, 2022 both showing a plant from the same indoor blackcloth trialin Enkhuizen, The Netherlands.

These plants were about 13 weeks of age. One rooted cutting per pot hadbeen planted in a 19 cm pot, not pinched in week 23, 2022 and blackclothed from week 29. Plants started flowering the end of August 2022.

The measurements were taken in Enkhuizen, The Netherlands, in September2022 on plants from the same indoor blackcloth trial.
